CaliXfer

This is the code repository for CaliXfer, which is a smarter assist.org that allows you to make more insightful judgments about your future career!

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️

This is NOT a replacement for assist.org as of yet, nor does it intend to do so. It simply augments it's capability with a few extra features to it and packages it into a website. Additionally, this is NOT a replacement for your counselor.

"It is intended to help students and counselors work together to establish an appropriate path toward transferring from a public California community college to a public California university." - assist.org

Planned Features

• Compare two different major programs within a university
• Compare two different universities' programs within a major
• Meaningful visualizations to better understand the differences via charts
• A more visually appealing page that let's you easily compare/contrast course articulations

Why?

I'm an aspiring mechatronics student, and part of the problem as someone taking mechatronics is the lack of colleges that offer it as a bachelors degree program. As a result, I've been comparing similar degrees on assist.org to see if I can find any similar programs, only to find such comparisions non-existent.

Thus, I'm building CaliXfer mainly for myself, so that I can figure out what degree/program is best for me, but also in the hopes that other people in a similar position as me can benefit from it.
